Flora & Fauna Survey & Ecological Assessments – 35 Water Street Wahroonga Table 4.3: Likelihood of occurrence categories LIKELIHOOD Low Moderate High DESCRIPTION Species considered to have a low likelihood of occurrence include species not recorded during the field surveys that fit one or more of the following criteria: Have not been recorded previously in the study area and surrounds and for which the study area is beyond the current distribution range. Require habitat types or resources that are not present in the study area Are considered locally extinct Species considered to have a moderate likelihood of occurrence include species not recorded during the field surveys that fit one or more of the following criteria: Have infrequently been recorded previously in the study area and surrounds. Use habitat types or resources that are present in the study area, although generally in a poor or modified condition Are unlikely to maintain sedentary populations, however, may seasonally use resources within the study area opportunistically during variable seasons or migration Species considered to have a high likelihood of occurrence include species recorded during the field surveys or species not recorded that fit one or more of the following criteria: Have frequently been recorded previously in the study area and surrounds Use habitat types or resources that are present in the study area that are abundant and/or in good condition within the study area Are known or likely to maintain resident populations surrounding the study area Are known or likely to visit the site during regular seasonal movements or migration UBM Ecological Consultants Pty Ltd Page 51
Flora & Fauna Survey & Ecological Assessments – 35 Water Street Wahroonga Table 4.4: Threatened Fauna Species recorded in the Locality and Region E1 = Endangered Species, E2 = Endangered Population, E4A = Critically Endangered, V = Vulnerable Species and M = Migratory Species * Habitat requirements were generally extracted from Churchill (2009) and OEH (2011a), with other references used being identified in the bibliography. ** Within a 10 x 10 km 2 area centred on the Study Area COMMON & SCIENTIFIC NAME Amphibia (3) Giant Burrowing Frog (Heleioporus australiacus) Green and Golden Bell Frog (Litoria aurea) LEGAL STATUS TSC ACT EPBC ACT HABITAT REQUIREMENTS* V V Occurs in hanging swamps on sandstone shelves and beside perennial creeks, in heath, woodland and open forest with sandy soils. E1 V Prefers sandstone areas, breeds in grass and debris beside non-perennial creeks or gutters. Individuals can also be found under logs and rocks in non breeding periods.

Targeted but not located during field investigations. Potential breeding and foraging habitat is not present as the Subject Property is situated in shale soils. No records of the species occurring within the Region since 1998. Further assessment of this species is not required. UBM Ecological Consultants Pty Ltd Page 52
